All the games of the 30th round of the LNB Pro A were played at the same time. Monaco suffered a heavy defeat of almost 20 points on the road, and Paris won the Euroleague duel against ASVEL.

In a difficult match from the outset, Monaco lost away to Boulazac with only five first-team players: Terry Tarpey, Matthew Strazel, Kevarrius Hayes, Jaron Blossomgame, and Yoan Makondou.

Elie Okobo, who tweeted hours before the game, is still on strike and doesn’t seem to be getting along with the organization. 19-year-old Kyllian Michee scored 21 points for Monaco on the loss.

Nadir Hifi (21 points) led Paris Basketball to a resounding victory over ASVEL in the EuroLeague clash of the day. For ASVEL, Shaquille Harrison (13 p.) was the top scorer.
